C Block 1566 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Media Bistro misquoted the Washington Examiner. Spitzer is only being considered; he hasn't officially been given the show. Still, it says a lot about CNN that they would even consider someone like him.

NYxaq 0 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Eliot Spitzer would be a smart choice. He writes insightful articles at Slate and he would get a lot of sampling and press if he was chosen. It would be a great PR move. And I think he would be able to carry the show over the long term. Don't be sanctimonious.

C Block 1566 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I've watched him on MSNBC a few times in the last week or two, including today. He's not bad on television. But he had a clear bias when covering the flotilla and the Israeli raid. Besides, he's still an inappropriate person to have presenting news.

NewsJunkie247 1 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's official....Eliot Spitzer will join collumnist Kathleen Parker for a new roundtable discussion show at 8PM on CNN. It will most likely debut in September. http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/24/on-cnn-a-prime-time-return-for-spitzer/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6434-campbell-browns-replacement-eliot-spitzer/#findComment-59357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
13WHAMfan 5 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Personally, I think that he was a much better governor than Patterson... However, the whole prostitution ring just did him in... Otherwise, he was good. But, I'm glad that Spitzer isn't our governor... we don't want to have that image. As for the show, I think it might be interesting. CNN really needs to get going on changing their image and taking more risks because if they don't, FOX News and MSNBC will tear them appart. Unfortunately the sensationalized news on both MSNBC and FOX News are outweighing the more moderate news programming on CNN... It's sad.

It's been this way for at least a decade now, so moderate, more balance take on news is something the truly moderate minded only appreciates...

Vlad 325 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I agree with 13WHAMfan, I truly believe Spitzer really was not bad at all. Paterson sucks big time as a governor, hence why he's not running for re-election, New York needs help and a new leader to fix its budget crisis.
